Clueless dresser trying to look better

I picked up a few things last week at Target in Canada. Yes, Target has now come to Canada, a nation rejoices! From an unscientific few prices that I know off by heart I’d reckon that the Target own-brand item prices here compare reasonably with US prices, but that branded goods are subject to the […]

My photos aren’t the best and my feet certainly aren’t the prettiest but I love these Lands’ End Pippa Suede Braided sandals – comfortable from the first step, a good price (with either 30% or 40%, I forget which) and the make my very wide feet look less so. I am wondering about picking up […]

I’m not sure about these Lands’ End chino crops – I can’t decide if they’re young and trendy, or ancient and golf-coursey – either way I suspect I’m 20yrs too old or too young! My OH said they were like camouflage trousers for hippies, ho ho. They are the same as the blue patterned ones […]

Another day, another dodgy hem by yours truly. These are very old trousers (and very big trousers – I got out the summer boxes and, oops, it seems hardly anything still fits, put 10lbs on since last summer! These were too big to wear last year but I kept them just in case… and this […]

It’s definitely warmer but I haven’t done the defuzz/foot scrub thing to get ready and bare my pasty legs to the world. I am making a nod to summer with these old forgotten about but never worn shoes after my 2yr old dug them out from who-knows-where to clip-clop around in them. I feel […]

It was 25c yesterday, muggy with tornado warnings. And now they’re calling for snow at the weekend, ack. We’re off to Chicago, I have no idea what to pack clothes wise, this is tricky. No clothes waiting for me there either coming off my 30 day no spend as I am. Well, a pair of […]

I can’t believe I’m dragging this lovely warm dress out the closet again, it’s nearly May for goodness’ sake. I last wore it in the depths of winter here. It doesn’t feel as if we have warmed up since then! Not only was I rummaging for a dress to be worn with warm tights this […]

I meant to buy this short sleeve wrap top in the olive hibiscus print after seeing it look great on someone else in a photo on an online Boden forum, but I forgot to change it out in my online shopping basket. Not sure these colours are me but it certainly is brightening up the […]

It’s 12c, wahoo! If you grew up in Scotland as I did, that’s a balmy summer day. To celebrate I’m giving the snowboots a rest and cracking out these Merona Melinda wedges from Target last year. I think they’re still in-store now though, seem to have been a big hit. [Edit: I have just found […]

This was another Spring Trim choice of mine, I have had it for a while since I wore it on holiday in January but of course it’s not exactly been the weather for it since. In need of some bright colours I tried it with an old cardigan this morning. It is a pretty top, […]
